----------
A global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for over 40 years, Jesus Christ Superstar is a timeless work set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
It was the first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage and first came to major theatres when it debuted on Broadway in October 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre in New York.
Less than 12 months after the Broadway show opened, the rock spectacle went to London, exploding onto the West End at the Palace Theatre in August 1972 in a hugely successful production. By 1980, after 3,358 performances, Jesus Christ Superstar had become the longest running musical in West End history at the time and grossed $12.3 million.
In all, Jesus Christ Superstar has grossed over $205 million and has been professionally produced in 42 countries around the world!
The look of this Simon is the absolute proof that this version was made in 2000
It's just Tony Vincent bruh
0:40 u can believe the guards r thinking who’s idea was it to send a small group of guards and we don’t get paid enough for this. 😂
Jesus looks like Robbie Plant! Lol 2000’s!
The fake Judas biker is also a look though
He's #?so Aqua
this is the most 2000 thing i've ever seen
kaketeageru I was thinking that Tony Vincent (Simon the Zealot) and the other disciples all look like they are part of *NSYNC.
@@Schoolgirl325 LOL They Do!!!!
it REALLY is lol
@L CM 99? Sure. Cuz that's when it was filmed. But 1999 and 2000 weren't really different at all. So it's definitely very 2000s
It's aggressively 2000
Just like the 1970s version is the most 70s thing ever, this film is the most 00s thing ever.
Frosted tips, soul patch, tank top, slightly effeminate dancing, oversinging.. yeah, Simon is a 90's boyband member turned revolutionary.
That is so good! Lol
Johnny Silverhands in a nutshell.
extremely based
Always fancied this Simon!! Lol
Thru God all things are possible - lol
I love the fact that the entire time Jesus’s face just looked so done with everything
Meanwhile, Judas is going back and forth with expressions of “I told you so, bro” to Jesus and “This motherfucker is gonna get us killed” to Simon
@@PapaLobo94 That may be the most accurate observation of Judas in this whole show I have read. Every time someone is singing or talking he is shooting Jesus that "These people are going to get us killed!".
The only part in the entire production where Jesus and Judas are 100% on the same page.
Judas' reactions were the only redeeming part of this number. Made me laugh
Agreed, for very good reasons. Jesus was trying to calm things down and while Simon *did* get rid of the guys who would have arrested Jesus, this wasn't what Jesus had in mind. Jesus's comment, "Simon!" says it all, in my opinion!
Yes, and this is one thing that the 2000 production has contributed to the musical since 1973. It's a great interpretation of the Zealot scene.
I have watched both Zealots scenes, I would have to say this Simon is better than the '73 version of the Simon. That being said, the '73 version was a little less campy than the '00 version, but the '00 version has a much deeper relationship between Judas and Jesus.
@Ben-Jammin, ehh no. Jesus never replaced Judas with another. However Judas was being ignored more than prior times, and this annoyed Judas because he was trying to keep everyone safe. Judas' role in this entire musical was to be a voice of reason, which was becoming more and more difficult to hear over the growing noise of praise. Kind of a sharp jab at organized religions and Prophets all together.
I like how they keep flashing back to Judas. This is everything Judas fears, given his earlier song.
Exactly. It not only reinforces but amplifies and justifies (or at least rationalizes) all of Judas's anxiety and frustration -- and in so doing, it makes his decision to betray Jesus more understandable.
The militarised theme of this version as opposed to the cultish dance party of the 1973 version actually brings out quite an interesting point, which is the immense politicisation of messianism at the time of the life of Jesus. The Roman emperor Vespasian usurped power in 69 having allegedly performed miraculous feats in Egypt, for example.
The one in the 1973 version looks like they are having seizures.
Definitely. I actually like this interpretation much better since it reflects much more accurately who the Zealots were and what they believed (as well as who they envisioned and expected Jesus would be). It's sadly also much more in keeping with the spirit of our times than the 1973 version would have been in the sense of reflecting the increasing fanaticism and militarism in numerous places around the world and the growing presence of 4th generation (guerrilla/insurgent) warfare.
Didn’t Vespasian put down the Jewish revolt too?
@@horatiohuskisson5471 Nah that was Hadrian.
hehe. 69
3:40 is still the best 'I told you so' face ever
Nothing against other versions, but this one integrated the song much better in the on-going story and everyone knows what's going on.
I didn't really understand what the purpose of this song was until I saw this version.
That I can agree with. The original movie in 1973 was just an unnecessary dance peace and didn’t grasp the radical nature of Simon’s song. Whereas here, Simon led them to actually fight back which sickened Jesus and legitimately pissed off Judas.
Side note: Tony Vincent did a better job playing Simon than Larry Marshall and was vocally better than Jerome Pradon in the 2000 revival on Broadway
@@PapaLobo94 i can agree about this scene being better in this version over the 73 one but larry marshall is the best simon of them all.
@@makaveli201071 Eh
1:22 "Simon!"
This single word moves me so much every time I listen to this song
What makes this interpretation so powerful even though it differs from those of other productions is the way in which it serves to not just reinforce Judas's concerns but amplify and perhaps even justify (or at least rationalize) them. You gotta love the way in which Jerome Pradon as Judas looks toward Jesus during this sequence as if to say "NOW do you understand what I've been talking about?? This shit is getting real and it's going to bite us in the ass before too long if you don't put a stop to it."
Judas: The annoying know-it-all sibling
Simon: The younger brother who gets everyone in trouble
Peter: The older brother trying to keep everything together!
lol
Jesus: The overworked dad who has tried for 3 years and eventually dies (how unexpected)
Mary: the brave devoted sister who gets no effing respect because she's a girl.
Great analogy
Other disciples - the assorted cousins,siblings and best friends who are just there
Simon: 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Judas: 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Jesus: 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Simon absolutely slayed in this version.
In which Green Day savagely beats Cobra Commander....
I've been watching a lot of versions of this musical lately, and it occurred to me that this song is the musical's version of the "Temptation", in which Jesus is offered earthly power and kingship, if he will abandon his path. Funny to imagine Judas as the metaphorical "Angel on the Shoulder", encouraging his friend to keep to his teachings, and reject what Simon is offering.
Simon: “Stand up to the Man!”
Jesus: “Pray for the Man.”
That smug "told you so." look from Judas.. xD
Those frosted tips! This is truly a 2000s film.
how does simon have a cross tatoo already....
MrBill0327 I was thinking the same thing.
+MrBill0327 Real life explanation: that's a tattoo which Tony Vincent (the actor playing Simon) happens to actually have on his arm.
In-universe explanation: it's not like Jesus was the one and only person ever to be crucified. Crucifixion was a pretty standard method of execution. So maybe one of Simon's close friends/relatives was crucified.
@@overlydramaticpanda lol awesome hahahaha
Foreshadowing. :)
In remembrance for the other thousands of people crucified, showing how strongly he holds resentment towards the Romans and their occupation
When you've accidentally inspired a violent rev but Simon is still the problem child
Jerome Pradon's facial expression slay me. 🤣
I think this version makes the lyrics about what Simon sings about come across best. Simon Zealotes - Jesus' ultimate fanboy!!!
Best Simon ! Tony Vincent has an incredible voice. I watch this at least once a day.
Jesus begins to realize that some people aren't taking "eat the rich" as a metaphor
This is way exaggerated beyond what actually was happening in scripture.
1:30 Judas: Man, what told you, this gonna happen
I like it when Jesus point at Simon and shout Simon
I prefer the 1973 version in general, but this part is so much better than the weird hobo dancers of '73. Instead of a smug smile and relishing in the worship, here's a man thats losing control of an increasingly radical mob. Totally justifies Judas's fears too.
I LOVE TONY VINCENT! He did amazingly with this song!
I like this Simon version with crazy eye.
How can you not like this version? So full of energy and Jesus and Judas make it even better :D
This version really amps up the sexual tension between Jesus and Judas, making them seem almost like bitter exes than simply former friends. I kinda love it?
This is awful. Jesus Cringe Superstar.
DJ Niton wow you got them there
@@DJNITON totally agree with you
Often I've wondered why Simon was overlooked whenever anyone (movies, sermons, etc) talked about disciples individually. Say what you will about Superstar, but I was glad someone thought the same and gave him a moment in the musical.
tim stared in all sorts of musicals from we will rock you to miss saigon etc.,
One thing I'll say for him: Simon is COOL!
If you look at the Tony awards performance from around this time, with Glenn Carter as Jesus, Tony Vincent, who plays Simon here, actually plays Judas for the performance of Superstar that they do in that show
*we dare not leave him to his own devices*
You know what I like about this version?
Just look where Judas is standing. He's got the same attitude as Jesus. Resigned at the Zealots.
Earlier when Jesus does his 'When your slate is clean then you can throw stones.' He mimes along.
He's heard it all before.
In this version Judas 'Gets' the message. He understands what Jesus is preaching. He's not mislead into thinking hell be a warrior King.
He 'likes' what jesus preaches. You really get the sense that they were close. That he may have been one of the very first followers. He's known Peter and Mary a long time too. When Peter goes to punch him he just smirks as of to say "Ha. Go for it. You know what Jesus will say." And isn't shocked at all when Jesus calls him out for it.
In this dramatisation, He understands Jesus's human side the most out of all the disciples.
He can't let go of the reality around him. He's consumed by his doubts about how the real world is going to treat them.
He's already forseen the persecution of the crowd.
It's not greed that motivates him. It's fear. He's never really sure he's doing the right thing.
That's far more interesting a depiction that the Greedy Sellout for whom gold is all that matters, or the rage driven traitor who feels betrayed by Jesus's actions and betrays in turn.
Even as he betrays Jesus you never get the sense that he's changed. He's the same person, motivated by the same things: the plight of the poor, fear of the Romans and a genuine beliver in the world Jesus is trying to build.
In my opinion, a major part of what has always made "Jesus Christ Superstar" so very powerful is the fact that with a few exceptions (Herod, Simon), nearly all the primary characters -- Jesus, Judas, Mary, Pilate, even the priests -- are desperately conflicted emotionally. They're all trying very hard to figure out what to do, what will be the best course of action not just for themselves but for others as well...and yet even after they have come to a decision and made a choice (often in response at least in part to persuasion or pressure from others), they still have doubts and reservations. Some of them (mainly Judas) also learn that the choices which they thought were for the best brought about unexpected, unintended, and unwanted consequences. I think that perhaps without being able to put their finger on this or being consciously aware of this dynamic, a lot of people nonetheless relate to it because this is what real life is unfortunately often like.
There's also a conflict in how he feels about Jesus, something he doesn't want to admit even to himself. I mean he's clearly jealous of Mary
Yes!
@@OreadNYC Yes, the Romans gave Israelites power at the local everyday level, but they ruled Israel entirely. After their exile, they were already afraid of the oppression on their people, and were afraid to disappear like the northern Jews did, I believe when conquered by Assyria, or Babylon
This one more than any other Judas was really just going "tone the Son of God shit the F down dude!"
Interesting.....having a fight btw the Romans and Christ's followers immediately before the song and Jesus angry at the violence sets the scene in an entirely different context. Normally you'd see Jesus into the song and enjoying the devotion but having a problem when Simon asks him to add a "touch of hate at Rome."
This production choice sets up Jesus' response at the end of the song very well. Now, his utter rejection of Simon and the zealot's worshipping of him comes from his disgust at the violence being done in his name, or at least the idea that he inspired it or would approve of it.
What makes this version of the scene so very powerful, I think, is the fact that this is in its own way probably a lot closer to the real political situation in Israel at the time. The athletic and ecstactic dancing from the 1973 film was visually impressive but this version packs a more dramatic punch since it raises the emotional stakes much higher for everyone. Jesus is clearly thinking "wait a minute -- this is NOT what I want!" and Judas is equally clearly saying "See?? I TOLD you that this was going to happen!"
JC: Simon I'm a peacemaker stop trying to get involved in some crusade
Simon: but how else am I supposed to show my love for you
JC: by being a good person and helping others. Duh!
Simon thinks he *is* being a good person and helping others by ending the Roman occupation. The problem with just telling people to "be good" is that the idea of goodness is so open to interpretation. Simon, Judas, and Jesus have three totally incompatible ideas of what a good person is.
Sadly in the end Simon got his way and what did judea get?
Mounds of bodies crushed under Roman foot, a rekted city, a desecrated temple, and thousands sold into slavery. Rome later in history would have been easier to break away from. But at this time it was to strong.
@@jacklau2558 Agreed Judea chose the worst times to revolt in Rome. 70AD and 163AD? I mean I guess it didn’t look like it was getting any better, but come on!
1:26
Judas: “jesus they’re literally doing a gospel flashmob for you maybe you should stop them before the romans try to kill us”
Jesus: “shut the fuck up judas ive got it under control.”
There was no gospel yet so there couldn't be a gospel flash mob. nitwit.
"Christ I wear a tanktop! Did you see my weave? I believe in tie die shirts so tell me that I'm peaved!" "hey-eh-eh hey!"
🤣 Do the whole show! 🤣
Google Translate the whole song in different languages, I dare you. I did and it was way pass weird.
I still swear by the 1973 version as the definitive Superstar. But I've come to appreciate this version more just because of the subtle changes they made in scenes like this. Showing Jesus's followers drive away the guards and then pass around guns was a cool update. And I liked Jesus's and Judas's reactions better in this version. You much more clearly understand Judas's motive for betraying Jesus because of these changes. Still, I think musically the 1973 version of this song was much better. Larry Marshall killed it.
I agree. The 70's version is by far superior to this one and this JC is not convincing at all, especially compared to Ted Neely, , but I like this remake of the scene more than the previous version. .
@@patciava3398 Ted Neely is a joke. Still touring as Jesus when he's fucking 70.
@@mrswilbert 75 !!!
@@mrswilbert Saw Neeley perform in his touring company of JC:S. This was 1995 or so. There were a few of us waiting outside the stage door after. Maybe 20 people. I'd brought my 1970's version of the album hoping for an autograph. The a$$ ducked out a different door to avoid his fans.
@@mikebeam822 he’s in his 70s, dude was probably trying not to piss himself or something
This guy and Schaeffer are my two favorites in this cast. This dude has some serious pipes.
The work in the mix is amazing, how everytime there’s a closer look at a character, his voice gets a bit higher to be able to recognize it. Incredible
This is the most "2000s" thing I have ever seen - bless!
Funniest facial expressions in anything ever. Guaranteed to brighten my day. Fifty thou-hou-SAAAAAHAHAHAAAAHAAAAND!
Tony vincent's moves are all very sharp and deliberate. He nailed it. But I do miss the talent of the dancers from 1973
They missed the chance to have the graffiti on the Berlin Wall backdrop say "ROMANI ITE DOMVM"
That would have been the ultimate easter egg
I have listened to just about every version of this song, and Tony Vincent simply nails it perfectly.
Right? His was simply the best. Second behind was Lee Siegel in the 2011 revival
2:25
*Simon (with his perverted psychotic smile):* And every one of 50,000 would do whatever you asked them to.
*Jesus:* Ugh... Gross...
I did a production of this show in my theatre group in February 2020 and this was my favourite song. I loved every minute of it despite the fact that I'd never seen the show before doing it. My favourite part of this song is the last verse from the line "We will win ourselves a home" because it sounds like a gospel choir and I love gospel choirs. I also loved the final note in "Superstar" for the same reason
Dammit Simon!
This is one scene I like better in the 2000s movie. It better explains the plot and emotion from Simon and the Zealots.
That 'Forever.... And Ever' makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time! Stunning vocals!
i like how everything is portrayed in this film
This gives me energy. Yass
2:31 Look at the madness in his eyes, that's Satan speaking through Simon trying to tempt Christ in that moment. Great acting.
No, that's just Simon being adamant and ready. Hence his title "the zealot".
Superb version! Amazing singer
In December 1971, I got to see JCSS live in NY, and "Simon Zealotes" was among my favorite songs. But THIS presentation -- what a HUGE difference: the chills that this one gives me are of a totally different genesis. Brilliant!
That blonde-tipped hair tho.
Joshua R soul patch
Most goyishe Jesus, Judas, Simon, and Mary EVAH.
One of my all time favorite scenes from JCSS. This guy is phenominally talented!
The melisma at 3:09 is to die for!! Love it!! It's stayed with me since I originally saw it in 2000. No other rendition has ever come as close!
Hahahahaha good joke
@@pipemorajacome54?
genuinely where r u hearing melisma?
Simon has a cross tattoo. I think he has the true power of foreseeing the future.
The cross tattoo frankly doesn't really make sense in this context and if it's a real tattoo, they probably should have costumed the actor so that it was covered. Even if you overlook the fact that a very observant Jewish person wouldn't have a tattoo(!), a Zealot would see the cross as an instrument of Roman brutality and tyranny -- so why would he have that tattooed on himself? It would be about on a par with an African American person getting a tattoo of the Confederate flag.
I like this scene of Simón Zealotes more than that of 1973. I like how it starts with the fight
Sadly they went totally off-road: no one ever wanted to start a fight! Simon was the total opposite of Judas: the First was really Happy to have Jesus as a guide, and really believed he could solve the problems, while Judas was really frightened about how the whole thing could have ended.
Why. The accent on Simon
@@brokk2 Actually, this scene really doesn't go off-road. The Zealots at the time of Jesus actually DID want to start a fight and what they expected and wanted Jesus to be was a leader who at the very least would approve of their efforts to expel the Romans by force and help rally more Israelites to their cause.
@@brokk2 Look up the Zealot movement and then come back and say "No one ever wanted to start a fight".
This is quite a different interpretation of the song than the one in the film, but it makes all the sense in the world given who the Zealots were and what they believed (and what they were hoping for and expecting from Jesus).
Awesome performance and interpretation, powerful
This is my absolute favorite rendition of this song. The movie was fantastic, the 2012 pro-shot did it justice, and the NBC Live version was so fun to watch, but this version's got it all for me
Jesus' SIMON! Is so good
props to simon for the trigger dicipline
Here because this is my audition song for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Wish me luck!
How did that audition go?
@@ljerry8440 I didn't even get the tape done in time, but I'm auditioning for 5 shows this year! (Newsies, Oklahoma, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Noises Off, and Annie!) I'm REALLY excited!
Best luck!! Some great shows.
Judas in this song is just "we have big problem in our tablet" and his look just 😰
So...uhm...if you had automatic weapons stowed just around the corner...why did you go up against their clubs with your fists? I mean, I appreciate your fervor, Simon, but just sayin'...
Martyr complex.
Good PR.
Just ask Al Qaeda and ISIS/Daesh...
As a man who was connected in the past with a certain group that planned armed rebellion, the last thing you want in this situation is government knowing about *how* serious in fact you are.
@@TovKafur Or where you have the guns hidden
The interesting thing on this scene is that this Jesus here (Glenn Carter) was originally the Simon Zealotes of the 1996's revival of JCS.
Good guns, good boys!
I love the little roar they start the singing with.
1:20 always loved the Bob Marley shirt guy
one love, mon!
0:15 He tryin to do the raptor thing from Jurassic World.
I must say, as much as I perceive the 70's version as superior to the 2000 remake, I like this scene 100% more than the older one.
Amen! Strange phrasing, when I think about it...
So do I. It's seems more powerful sang and played.
I 100% agree i think the meaning of the scene was better portrayed and it was better acted
@@aleksandraniemczyk251 it just transfers the message of the original song more obvious, Simon wanting Jesus to raise a violent rebellion against Roman occupation - all they do in the 70's version is just dance around.
I agree. The 70's version is by far superior to this one and this JC is not convincing at all, especially compared to Ted Neely, , but I like this remake of the scene more than the previous version. .
I don’t care if I get hate for posting this: I honestly prefer this version of “Simon Zealotes” than the 1973 version. Why? Because it showed more of the radical fanaticism and rebellious mindset that Christ’s disciples/followers had. They wanted to fight against the Romans and take back their homeland, but Jesus wasn’t about that at all
that's actually not true. The disciciples were not radicals or fanatical. There were only a few times where Jesus had to reign them in and only a few of them. They thought the Messiah came to free them from the Romans they were hardly fanatical or radical about it. You need to do a little more studying of scripture and little less trying to put your spin on it. You are factually wrong. Not hate simply a fact that you are wrong.
@@nonyabusiness2510 Dude, get the beehive out of your ass and chill. It’s called an interpretation and I’m allowed to call it as I see it, same as you
If I must admit to one thing this version is better than the 1973 version, it's how this scene shows the radicalization of Jesus' followers and Judas' legitimate fear of the whole situation getting out of control. Also Jesus' reaction it's better played given the fact that even when Judas didn't support Zealotes' way and could be seen as the one who is right about the situation, nobody understands the bigger picture that only God is who has the real power and what Jesus' mission really is.
I gotta say it here too. Before comparing 1973 to 2000, also check out JCS Arena Show from 2012. There are things to love about each one. They each have a different set up -- Israeli locations vs sets vs arena stage with live musicians in front of audience -- different performers, different feel.
Jesus in this number has a look that says: "I am going to save you, just not like this!"
Simon's facial expressions are so over the top lmao
Cross tatoo on Simons shoulder is a bit spoiler for Jesus :D
Seems like simon cared more about his solo than the revolution
Best version perhaps?
I think so.
Not taking away from the fact that he did a great job but watching this always gave me the feeling simon was more interested in nailing his solo then fighting the revolution
Tony is amazing at Simon
1:26 🤣 1:29 🤣 TOP
I really like relationship between Jesus and Judas in this adaptation.👌
Simon looks like Lt. Surge
Super Potato FTW like Guile
Super Potato FTW OMG FROM POKEMON 😂
Every time they recast this play it gets more ludicrous.
Это самый лучший вариант JCSS! Великолепно!
Director: We need something that speaks to the audience as Roman but modern
Costume design: how about a cross between Darth Vader and Shredder from TMNT
Director: Perfect!
The guns are killing me
Wowza....those 2000 looks. And those frosted tips.
JUST FABULOUS for someme one who loved first one.et que ca perdure....MAGNIFIQUE!!!!!!!!!
fantassssstic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God dammit Simon! Most fantabulous theatre pose award goes to Simon.
Neither you, Simon, nor the fifty thousand
Not the Romans, nor the Jews
Not Judas, not the priests, nor the scribes
Nor doomed Jerusalem itself
Understand what power is
Understand what glory is
Understand at all
Understand at all
So far, my favourite version of JCD.
Always remember the first galileo i saw cheers Mr Vincent 👍👍👍but thanks Mr Carter as well for opera House Blackpool 2016, still a Gillan beater
1:24 "Me-DAMMIT, Simon, I told you not to start a riot!"
